The Cornish Inn

Very comfortable all around! Staff and restaurant were great! Set an acquaint little New England town! Will definitely be back. Antique shopping and some good restaurants in the town itself. Friendly people and my stay was fantastic! Thank you, Cornish Inn staff for making me feel at home.

I truly enjoyed my stay! The building has been upgraded with new locking systems and plumbing, which makes it safer and more comfortable. Our room was simple, clean and cozy, with a private half bath (shower not tub) a separate closet, queen size bed and 2 comfy mission style rockers. It was high ceilinged, bright and airy. In the morning there was self served homemade pumpkin bread and fresh coffee! The Inn was a lovely place to celebrate our anniversary.

We traveled to Maine for a wedding and the Cornish Inn was recommended by the bride and groom. We could not have been more pleased. The staff was delightful and our room was charming! Lindsey's Kitchen, which is the onsite restaurant was a wonderful bonus! We loved sitting on the porch for our meals. There were gorgeous flowers in hanging baskets and window boxes decorating the porch. It was a lovely setting. Our thanks to all! Postscript: There are fun shops across the street from the Inn. Do not miss a visit!

I've stayed here a bunch of times, under various owners and it's still a wonderful place. Perfect downtown location and wonderful AC (it was a hot muggy weekend and so cool and dry in the room). I didn't eat in the restaurant this time, but it seemed like a very popular spot. Doors are controlled by a code instead of a key, but it was slightly annoying to have to enter the code to the front door during the day when going in and out from your car, or to have coffee on the porch. And then the keypad died (probably from being used 1000 times a day) but thankfully someone was inside to let me in. It would be helpful if it just locked at a certain time of night.

The bed was SOOO uncomfortable!! We could feel the springs in the mattress and the indentations from where previous guests had slept over the years. The whole room was tilted, and when we first laid on the bed, we literally rolled towards one side. Both nights we woke up numerous times, stiff and sore, hoping the morning light would break so we could be done sleeping in that bed. Not the feeling you want to have. There were nails sticking up from the old creaking floorboard which is very dangerous. One floorboard in particular felt like it was about to break. Additionally there are no coffee machines or ways to make tea in the rooms, you have to go down to the lobby. Both mornings, the single coffee carafe was either empty or cold. The walls are super thin, so you can hear everyone downstairs, in the halls and as they enter the building. It's too bad because the woman who runs it seems very nice, it's a historic building, it feels quaint when you first look walk in. New beds, new pillows, and coffee in the rooms would make a big difference.

Stay elsewhere! A quaint decor is no excuse of an OLD WORN SPRING MATTRESS. You can put old quilt covers on NEW mattresses and still achieve the aesthetic you're going for, but I feel like "it's supposed to be old" is an excuse used here to cheap out on not staying updated. If you're an Inn, GOOD PILLOWS and a NICE BED are the MOST important thing and on our second night sleeping there I woke up and had a thought I've NEVER had at 3am "oh good, only a few more hours of this bed before I can get out of here". No joke, I sat on the toilet for a while just to give my spine a break. The room is massively tilted, so much so that I had to shim our bed with hand towels so that it was level enough to comfortably sleep in and I cut my foot on the exposed flooring nails which have not been re-sunk even though the floor is caving in beside the bed. NOT charming. You'd think in 2023, when a coffee maker is $40, you could have one in each room, but NO, you'll have to get dressed and make your way to the single pump carafe in the lobby for your 4oz teacup of lukewarm coffee, but be sure to get there early! because it runs out an isn't refilled. At least get a bigger coffee carafe for an entire inn full of people! Maybe the owners should punish themselves by staying in their own rooms so they can wrap their minds around what might be important updates to provide an enjoyable stay. Hopefully they use the money from our visit to re-invest in a new bed.
